Chapter Thirty-One: The School Sports Meet

  Zhan Fei and Zhou Tai were talking when Guo Xin was controlling his mouse with one hand, looking back at Zhan Fei with the other, and said: "Old Three, do you know that there's a sports meeting this Tuesday? The class monitor has already assigned tasks, every track and field event needs someone from our class to sign up. Old Two and I are useless, Old Big signed up for shot put, are you interested?"

  Zhan Fei listened and was about to directly refuse, but a voice in his ear suddenly reminded him: "Branch task: Participate in the school sports meeting, and the reward will be decided based on the final ranking."

  Unexpectedly, following yesterday's defeat of the rival task, he accepted another task so quickly. Originally, Zhang Fei wasn't very interested in the sports meet, but since there was a task now, it couldn't be missed. Immediately, Zhang Fei said: "How many events are there in the sports meet? I want to sign up for several more."

  Upon hearing Zhan Fei's words, Guo Xin was taken aback for a moment before saying: "You really want to participate? It's just track and field events, apart from the various distance races from 100 meters to 3000 meters, there are also high jump, long jump, shot put, discus throw and so on. How about you sign up for the 3000 meter race?"

  Guo Xin was just kidding, the 3000 meters project is the most worrying item for all students, other projects are fine, even if they sign up and don't win a place, it's nothing, but like 1500 meters, 3000 meters such long-distance running projects, that's not just losing, but also exhausting.

  It's like those college students who rarely exercise, suddenly participating in a sports meet, and asking him to run 3,000 meters without getting half dead from exhaustion?

  And when the time comes, even if you're exhausted to death, you still have to keep running. The sports meeting of Bogotá Polytechnic is held once a year and is quite grand. At that time, all the athletes will have their class numbers stuck on their backs, while students from each class sit on the steps around the playground to watch.

  If I were to participate in a long-distance run, I would be out of breath after running 200 meters and wouldn't be able to continue, which would be embarrassing. Moreover, it's not just me, but the whole class would lose face together, so this event is definitely the most unpopular one.

  Last year, it was the class leader who ended up going alone and was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground at the finish line and had to be carried back to the dormitory. Originally, Zhan Fei, even if he was interested in sports, would not have participated in this event.

  But now it's different, after the upgrade, Zhan Fei is now the highest in intelligence value, and next is physical strength. Physical strength represents endurance, and a physical strength value of 11 points has already surpassed many national-level athletes.

  Although it is said that even long-distance running is not just about physical strength, but also speed. However, Zhan Fei's agility value has now reached 7 points, slightly higher than ordinary people. With 7 points of agility and 11 points of physical strength, Zhan Fei was very confident in winning the 3000-meter championship. So, he directly said: "Okay, I'll sign up for the 3000 meters then. And that discus throw, I'll sign up for it too."

  A strength value of 10 points, although not as good as physical strength, is also quite terrifying. After all, this 10-point strength value has already reached the level of a national-level weightlifter. Participating in a school-level sports meeting shouldn't be a problem at all?

  Guo Xin listened and was stunned for a moment, then said: "Old Three, you're not really sick, are you? You've been reading books and going to the library lately, and you were even planning to participate in the 3,000-meter run. Have you forgotten that last time we carried our class monitor together, we were carrying his two legs?"

  Zhan Fei listened and said, "Sick? Brother is sacrificing himself for the class. The class monitor's physical quality is too poor. This time, I want to let all the beauties in our department know what a real man is!" When Zhan Fei finished speaking, Guo Xin suddenly said, "The beauties of our department? Are you really having an affair with Han Xiang, the department flower?"

  Zhan Fei heard this and laughed: "What? Are you jealous?"

  The next day, Zhan Fei went to class with a bold and determined attitude. Of course, attending classes was secondary; the main goal was to sign up for projects. As soon as he arrived at the classroom, Zhan Fei directly found the class monitor Xu Zunhong and said: "Class Monitor, I'm planning to sign up for several projects."

  When Xu Zuo heard Zhang Fei's words, a hint of surprise appeared on his face. Although they were in the same class for so long and not in the same dormitory, Xu Zuo still had a general understanding of Zhang Fei's dormitory mates. Except for Liu Yuan, the other three people were all dead houses, hugging their computers for 18 hours a day.

  Unexpectedly, Zhan Fei actually came over to sign up voluntarily. Xu Xuanhong was surprised, of course. Although he was surprised, he wasn't particularly delighted because, as expected, this time's 3000-meter race would have to be done by himself again. Xu Xuanhong had liked studying since childhood and continued to do so in college, taking his studies very seriously.

  Compared to Liu Yuan, he has a more refined and cultured air about him, which earns him the deep affection of his teachers. With his relatively mature appearance, he exudes an even greater sense of maturity. As a result, he became the class monitor. Xu Zhihong is excellent in all aspects and attaches great importance to collective honor, so his prestige in the class is also quite high.

  The only drawback is that his physical fitness has deteriorated and he is not suitable for participating in sports competitions. However, he does not want to be the only one from his class who does not participate in a certain event, so during his freshman year, he finally signed up for the 3000-meter run, which no one else in his class was interested in, and then had someone carry him back.

  And this semester, it's probably the same situation, so he's a bit worried. Moreover, it seems that no one has signed up for the 1500 meters event this semester, because the guy who signed up for the 1500 meters last semester took the pilot exam and is now studying at Bozhou Aviation University!

  The 1500m and 3000m events are almost continuous, after finishing the 1500m, it's already the 3000m. Xu Zonghong estimated that he couldn't even finish this 4500m by crawling, but at this time, Zhan Fei suddenly said: "I want to sign up for the 3000m, and if no one signs up for the 1500m, I'll sign up for it too!"

  Suddenly, Xu Yunhong's face changed, and he said, "What did you say?"

  Xu Xuanhong thought he was hallucinating, the 3000-meter race that worried the whole class the most, someone actually signed up for it? And also want to sign up for the 1500 meters?

  One thousand five hundred meters, compared to three thousand meters, is much shorter, but the number of people willing to run is still very small. In a school playground, one thousand five hundred meters is almost four laps, and it's also very tiring to run. Girls are relatively better off, with only an 800-meter run being a concern.

  There was a tall girl named Li Qing in the class who was quite good at sports, so the 800 meters was her task. Therefore, if someone reported the 3000 meters and 1500 meters, Xu Zhenhong wouldn't need to be carried back to the dormitory again, which is why he was so excited.

  "What? Has someone already signed up for these two projects? Then forget it."

  Xu Xuanhong listened and hastily said: "No, no, since you're interested, these two projects are yours."
